Good idea ... but is this easy or difficult to do? For a single function, is it enough to divide by 4 and then multiply by the new value? An advice could be used for a new function but then it might as well do it itself. Unless there are several new functions who all need this! For an old function a user-defined advice may be risky: is the user aware of all entry points? also, it might screw up interactiveness - here I might be wrong tho because I never liked advices to begin with so I have close to zero experience - just a hunch... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
